Okay, so imagine this: you die. Bummer, right? But then, instead of floating up to heaven or being stuffed back into a baby, you wake up... as a sword. Yep, a pointy, shiny, slicey thing.
Sounds like a terrible deal, doesn't it? All cold steel and no thumbs. But trust me, it's surprisingly interesting. Especially when you get picked up by a cute, fuzzy cat-girl adventurer named Fran.
The Talking Sword Life: Not What I Expected
Being a sword isn't exactly glamorous. There's a lot of swinging, clanging, and getting covered in monster guts. But hey, at least I get to yell out cool attack names in my head (though only Fran can hear me).
And I've got super strength now! I am not lugging myself around, Fran does. That girl is amazing.
Bonding with Fran
What makes this whole sword-life thing worth it is Fran. She's small but fierce, and we quickly become a team. We train together, fight together, and even share snacks (well, she eats the snacks, and I get the satisfaction of knowing she's happy).
I become her mentor, helping her master sword skills and navigate the dangerous world we're in. It’s like being a dad, but instead of giving fatherly advice, I'm giving swordly advice. "Try swinging harder!" "Focus your magical energy!"
Our bond grows deeper as we overcome challenges, fight tough monsters, and just generally try to survive. Honestly, it's kind of heartwarming, even though I'm, you know, a sword.
Surprising Perks of Being a Sword
Besides the whole "protecting a cute cat-girl" thing, there are other perks to being a sword. I can absorb magical energy, which is pretty cool. And I can evolve, becoming stronger and getting new abilities.
Imagine a sword leveling up. Sounds ridiculous, right? But it happens! I gained new abilities and my blade becomes even sharper. Take that, monsters!
The Humor in It All
Of course, there's plenty of humor in this situation. Like when I accidentally yell out battle cries too loudly in Fran's head, making her jump. Or when I get stuck in a rock and she has to pry me out.
The looks on people’s faces when they realize Fran is wielding a talking sword are priceless. It's a constant source of amusement for both of us.
Sometimes, I even catch myself thinking like a sword. "Must... slice... things!" It's a weird but funny transformation.
More Than Just a Blade
Ultimately, being a sword has taught me a lot about companionship, loyalty, and what it truly means to be strong. It's not just about the sharp edge or the ability to cut things. It's about protecting those you care about and finding purpose in the most unexpected of circumstances.
Who knew a reincarnated sword could have so much fun? It's definitely a unique perspective on life – even if that life is a bit on the pointy side.
And hey, at least I don't have to worry about getting wrinkles.
